Multiple in these particles all has photolytic activity, and can therefore be used as photocatalyst.This photolytic activity typically can be by owing to well-known photocatalyst TiO 2Existence.Yet, TiO 2Can only when existing, the UV radiation use as photocatalyst.Therefore its use is restricted.
Had wherein by changing TiO 2Structure improve TiO 2Active embodiment is suggested.Yet these improve and all do not relate to particle.
As described, titanium dioxide (TiO 2) be a kind of well-known photocatalyst that is used under ultraviolet (UV) light, particularly its anatase octahedrite demonstrates the photocatalytic activity that is higher than the rutile phase mutually.The mixture of having reported a kind of anatase octahedrite and rutile recently has the activity higher than pure anatase octahedrite.
In addition, TiO 2Be a kind of very strong oxygenant and can water of decomposition, being about to water splitting is oxygen (O 2) and hydrogen (H 2).This is attributable to the strong oxidation potential in positive hole in the catalyzer.We notice that hydrogen can be used as fuel, thereby TiO 2Have the use potentiality in producing the energy.
TiO 2But also direct oxidation organic materials.Work as TiO 2Just become hydrophilic further when being exposed in the UV light, therefore can use it for antifogging coating or self-cleaning window, rely on TiO wherein 2Can remove organism effectively.In addition, with TiO 2Sneak into and significantly to reduce for example concentration of volatile organic compounds and oxynitride of airborne pollutant in the outdoor building material.

It should be noted that anatase octahedrite is not TiO mutually 2The most stable phase.Rutile is TiO mutually 2In the most general natural form.Therefore preparation is a problem keeping for more time anatase octahedrite at many-side anatase octahedrite all preferably mutually and further mutually.
Water and air all is that tellurian life is necessary, but according to UN, does not have the tap water of safety above 1,100,000,000 population in developing country.In addition, 2,000,000,000 populations do not possess enough sanitary facilitys.According to WHO, the death that 400 60 ten thousand populations are arranged every year is directly owing to atmospheric pollution equally.Therefore, clean water and air and suitable sanitary facility are most important basic living conditions on the earth.At present ways of addressing this issue is usually too expensive, and is low with regard to active speech efficient, can't utilize and complexity too.Thereby still exist for the demand that further addresses these problems and limit its consequence.
Puppet emits commodity can cause the massive losses of tax revenue, and the while also can jeopardize people's health owing to for example counterfeit drug.This situation every year is all in phenomenal growth.Therefore anti-counterfeiting technology all becomes extremely important in increasing product.That latest developments have been got up is a kind of " having the coating (Cpuf) that physics can not copy function ", and this Cpuf is a kind of unique on IC and the compound coating that can't duplicate.About the composition of coated material, TiN for example, TiO 2, monoaluminum phosphate (MAP) and some dielectric materialss have been submitted several patents to, US6198155B1 for example, US 6759736B2 and WO03/046986A2.Particle being distributed on the IC at random described dielectric or conduction.Can there be the sensor network of being made by the Al electrode in top at IC.The randomness of this particle distribution has caused has multiple electric capacity on the IC.This just provides a kind of aforesaid fingerprint that is difficult to duplicate.
Yet hacking technique is all improving every year, thereby Q-character level that need improve constantly and improved security.
Some above-mentioned particles exist other problem, when needs, and too low or even the disappearance of the chemical/physical activity of this particle.And further problem is its activity even is subject to for example irradiation of UV light.In addition, most above-mentioned materials does not have the character of conduction and/or dielectric and/or semi-conductive and/or structure, and is necessary in the described hereinafter application of these character.
Yet very difficulty maybe can't prepare such particle at present: this particle has the nuclear and the shell of differing materials; And/or described particle is little, but is not again too little for some application, and promptly the gravel size decision ground of its center is greater than 100nm and preferably less than 100 μ m; And/or described particle is stable, for example, do not change in time automatically, do not carry out phase transformation, and is stable in environment for use, or the like.
In addition, be difficult to maybe can't prepare the roughly particulate of homogeneous of nuclear size and thickness of the shell, particularly the less situation of thickness of the shell wherein.Whenever thickness of the shell becomes hour, shell typically trends towards having open space in shell.Equally, this shell typically comprises such zone, and this zone is not subjected to processing when chemical treatment, promptly remains to handle preceding state, and comprises preferably processed zone, and promptly its thickness is thick much larger than average shell.
Therefore the objective of the invention is to solve one or more above-mentioned problems.
Summary of the invention

The different evident difference that mean at first kind of material and second kind of storeroom composition.Thereby, the particle that comprises first kind of (nuclear) material, its nuclear is outside to be formed because the radiation of for example high energy particle produces slight variation, thus form since different phases or owing to the formation in dislocation or room differentiable shell, described particle is not included into scope of the present invention.Typically, nuclear of the present invention is different with the chemical constitution of shell, thereby causes described nuclear to have different physics and/or chemical feature respectively with shell, for example different electrical characteristics, different chemically reactives, perhaps different stability.
For satisfying for example photolytic activity of some aspect of the present invention, the thickness of shell is subjected to strict boundary constraint, for example owing to wish to exist outward appearance to be roughly the nuclear of black (face as follows).Thickness as shell is too little or too thick, and this effect has just disappeared.Typically, shell can have the thickness of 5nm to 200nm in these cases, as 10nm, or 20nm, or 100nm.
Nuclear mainly comprises first kind of Ti compound and its mesochite mainly comprises under the situation of second kind of Ti compound therein, for different application, and for example photolytic activity and chemically reactive, this shell can have the thickness greater than 5nm, and the size of nuclear can be greater than 10nm.Typically, more little particle in needing chemically active application, may show good more.
In order to reach best effect, particle can not be too big, because the ratio of such useful area and volume will reduce.Particle can not be too little.Obviously can make the physical size of particle adapt to the purposes of imagining, and this point is one of advantage of the present invention.Thereby size of particles, and the thickness proportion of nuclear and shell can be for each purposes or purposes and optimize.

Embodiment describes in detail
Embodiment
The oxidation of embodiment 1TiN.
With the TiN powder at O 2In in 400-600 ℃ of thermal treatment 1 hour.1.45g and the TiN powder of 0.25g is all 500 ℃ of beginning oxidations.The TiN powder is the rutile phase by the anatase octahedrite inversion of phases of complete oxidation and existence in the time of 600 ℃.500 ℃ is the optimal temperature that obtains the maximum anatase octahedrite in the described scope.
Fig. 1 is presented at the O in the mixed gas 2(%) for the influence of the crystalline structure of the TiN powder of oxidation.For the TiN powder of 0.25g, anatase octahedrite mainly is formed at the O of 4-19% 2, for the TiN powder of 1.45g, anatase octahedrite mainly is formed at the O of 2-6% 2According to Fig. 1 and 2, contain the TiO of the 20 weight % that have an appointment (for example 15-25 weight %) 2Sample have anatase octahedrite as principal phase at the TiN powder surface.
Fig. 3 has shown that the TiN amount of powder is for forming TiO 2The influence of amount.The TiN powder heated 1 hour in 500 ℃ in 2 kinds of different atmosphere.Contain 5% O in the mixed gas 2The time, for oxide compound as the about 20 weight % of TiN output of 0.25,1.45,10 and 21g of raw material powder.Can on TiN nuclear, provide a large amount of anatase octahedrites in 1 hour in 500 ℃ of thermal treatments under this environment.
According to XRD figure (Fig. 4), oxidizing reaction depends on the amount of TiN powder, and promptly how the TiN powder is filled in the container, as the tamped density of the height and the powder of powder filler.This is because this oxidizing reaction is thermopositive reaction.If the TiN powder of oxidation 1.45g, this powder are principal phase by complete oxidation and rutile then.If yet the TiN powder of oxidation 0.25g forms TiN nuclear and TiO 2Shell, wherein anatase octahedrite is principal phase (Fig. 5).
Temperature when oxidizing reaction also depends on thermal treatment and atmosphere have been carried out the optimum condition that main formation anatase octahedrite is sought in some experiments for this reason.Fig. 6 has shown the crystalline structure of the TiN powder of oxidation.

Embodiment 3TiN nuclear-TiO 2The photocatalytic activity of shell powder.
The appraisal procedure of the photocatalytic activity of these powder is that (400<λ<850) photodegradation is often used as the organic compound acid orange 7 (AO7) of azoic dyestuff under halogen lamp.Is the TiN nuclear-TiO of 5-100mg/l with the AO7-aqueous solution (20mg/1) of 2ml with concentration 2Shell powder-aqueous solution.It should be noted that because the anti-degradation property that they are specially designed is difficult to decompose azoic dyestuff usually.Yet Fig. 8 has shown and is being exposed to halogen lamp two kinds of powder AO7 that can degrade especially apace after next hour.This phenomenon demonstrates the very strong photocatalytic activity of particle of the present invention.
Light-catalyzed reaction depends on very doughtily from the distance of light source and the surface-area of used powder.The solution that contains the lower concentration powder demonstrates higher relatively photodegradation speed.This can cause the long-pending reduction of powder surface, the perhaps scattering of light that causes owing to particle owing to reunion.

A kind of simple mode is to use according to TiN nuclear-TiO of the present invention 2The shell powder is made vesicular structure (Figure 10) in the sedimentary substrate of Pt.Yet, it should be noted that this method may be difficult to make enough water to arrive the Pt surface.In order to address this problem, what have the hole comprises TiN nuclear-TiO 2The beam of the nanostructure of shell powder is a kind of possibility.Figure 11 has shown two kinds of dissimilar sinuous comb structures.Structure 1 is made up of the beam of the layered catalyst of insulation layer supports in the substrate.This layered catalyst uses TiO 2As top light active coating, TiO 2Perhaps directly on Pt, perhaps at TiO 2And dye sensitizing agent arranged between the Pt.Here Pt plays the work that helps catalytic reducer in order to increase the hydrogen that forms from water.TiO 2Only in the UV optical range, show as photocatalyst, yet dye sensitizing agent is expanded absorb light to visible-range.Other metal can replace Pt to use as reductive agent.Not only inorganic materials but also organic materials can use as insulation layer, for example silicon-dioxide (SiO 2), silicon nitride (Si 3N 4) and Resins, epoxy.With a kind of TiN nuclear-TiO 2Shell powder photocatalyst replaces TiO 2, and do not have dye sensitizing agent.Structure 2 is a kind of photoelectrochemical cells, wherein the TiO at top 2Layer is an anode, and the Pt layer is a negative electrode.Dye sensitizing agent is incorporated into TiO 2The layer and the Pt layer between with the expansion light absorption.Here, TiN nuclear-TiO 2The shell powder also can replace TiO 2Use as photocatalyst.Dye sensitizing agent is not necessary in this case.
In these two kinds of structures, water also can flow between beam and substrate by the hole, and this makes in water cracking and form hydrogen in the Pt side very effectively.
